Should it? Sorry, I think I partially missed what you were asking earlier. When -w is not passed there is no dependence on git_dir, so it does not matter if it is set up or not. Some evidence that this is true (in addition to my basic testing): The call to git_config was added to hash-object.c in revision ff350ccf49a800c4c90f817d346fb1bcb96e02e7; prior to that revision, when -w was not passed, there would be no setup of git_dir by either git_config or git_setup_directory. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
